Does Ford still make station wagons?
In the United States, Ford no longer sells traditional station wagons; globally, some markets still offer wagon-style models, but the overall focus has shifted toward crossovers and SUVs. This article breaks down where wagons fit in Ford’s current lineup and what buyers around the world can expect today.
Ford's wagon status in the United States
Here is a quick picture of Ford's wagon situation in the U.S. market.
- There is no current Ford-branded station wagon in the U.S. lineup.
- The company emphasizes SUVs and crossovers—models such as Escape, Edge, Explorer, and Expedition—to cover practical, cargo, and family needs.
- Past wagon variants, like the Taurus X, have been discontinued, and Ford has not reintroduced a traditional wagon in the U.S. market.
Conclusion: For new-car buyers in the United States seeking a station wagon from Ford, the option no longer exists; alternatives are sought in existing SUVs or used-vehicle markets.
Global market: wagons remain in some regions
Outside the United States, Ford has historically offered wagon/estate variants in several regions, though the emphasis continues to tilt toward crossovers and electrified models. Availability varies by country and model year.
- In parts of Europe and other regions, wagon variants have appeared on model lines such as Focus and Mondeo, giving buyers a traditional estate body style where available.
- Some markets continue to offer larger wagon/estate options as part of Ford’s broader lineup, but these are not guaranteed in every country or every year.
- Across regions, the trend has been to replace some wagons with crossovers or electric models, reducing the international breadth of wagon choices.
Conclusion: Wagons persist in certain international markets, but Ford’s global strategy now centers more on SUVs and electrified vehicles, with wagon availability dependent on local demand and regulatory context.
What this means for buyers
For those seeking Ford wagon-style practicality today, options depend on location. In the U.S., no new wagons are sold by Ford, while buyers there turn to SUVs for cargo and passenger needs. In other regions, wagon variants may still appear in specific model lines, though they may be limited or gradually phased out as crossovers dominate the market.
Summary
Ford has largely phased out traditional station wagons in the United States, replacing them with SUVs and trucks. Internationally, wagons continue to exist in some markets but are less prominent and subject to change as Ford shifts toward crossovers and electrified vehicles.
